COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT APPOINTED
The Territorial Legislature of 1855 had passed law placing the schools under the direct control of the county court. This court was to appoint "three competent men to determine the qualifications of teacher, an all applicants of good moral character that are considered competent shall receive a certificate to that effect, signed by the board." In compliance with this decree, Bishop Philo T. Farnsworth was appointed, in 1860, as county superintendent of schools, with Robert Wiley, John Woodhouse and Jesse N. Smith, the Board of Examiners. I 1862, Alphonzo M. Farnsworth became county superintendent. The county was redistricted in 1865, Beaver City to be known as District No. 1, Greenville, No. 2, and Minersville No. 3. A meeting was called at which Horace A. Skinner, William J. Cox and Wilson G. Nowers were elected as school trustees for Beaver City.
On the opening day of school the child or his parent must go to the trustees to arrange for paying the tuition fee and receive an "Admit" which, on being presented to the teacher, permitted the child to enter school. For the youngest pupils the fee was from $2 to $3, and the older ones paid from $3 to $6, depending on the length of the school term.

The southwest section was No. 2, with the "Lumber School" built on the corner now owned by Karl Grimshaw, one block west of the Beaver Hotel. District No. 3 had the "Rock School" in the northwest section, now the home of Ernest Muir, and No. 4, in the northeast, had the "Brick School" which the west part of Mrs. May Oakden's residence.
